I created a wall to share video advertisements and students could post their reflections after watching the video, so it becomes a shared wall for lessons. Unfortunately, there was no time to implement this lesson.

Here's what my wall looked like and the bookmarks to 2 video links - The Big Beer Ad and Camlin permanent markers.

Beautiful word clouds from Wordle

This was the Word Splash that I created for teaching Advertisements. Before students watched a video from Thai insurance, they had to predict what the video was about using the key words from the Word Splash.

The magic of Wordle lies in the size of the words. If the size of the font is large, it means it is a high-frequency word.

A novel way to express your love and appreciation

I love this short featuring your humble Post-it note. I like the way in which many Post-its are used to create a large collage. Notice how there is no dialogue nor conversation here. It's just music and the actors.

If you were to create a collage, what will you create? I remember when I was in Secondary 3 or 4, my class created a huge collage on the class noticeboard on the images of Singapore and Lee Kuan Yew. We tore off pieces of magazine paper and stuck them piece by piece on the board. It was a huge gargantuan effort and it took EVERYONE's effort to chip in. And guess what? We won the first prize for the Best National Day Decoration! And it was huge piece of Lee Kuan Yew was right smack on the board.
